An International #SOS From #Dahshur !!

Why is it an international SOS !? Because our ruling government , our president,ruling party and their allies from Islamists care less about Ancient Egyptian history. Why is it an international SOS ?? Because our government and president are still sensitive to Western Pressure more than local pressure.
There is a danger surrounding the Dahshur archaeological area and the bent Pyramid according to renowned journalist Yasser El Zayat. Mr. El Zayat reported that armed locals “from land traders and robbers ” stormed the archaeological site and began to distribute the land in the site for illegal construction. El Zayat who works in ONTV also reported that construction has began and is reaching to the bent pyramid by those armed thugs who are threatening archeological inspectors.
Sadly enough there is a military point check few kilometers away from the site and is doing nothing against this attack !! They claim that they are waiting orders from the Central Zone commandership of Grand Cairo !! The police also refused to interfered.
Dahshur is world heritage area according to UNESCO so please call the UNESCO and tell them to do something for God sake.
Already the archeological areas near the pyramids are facing hell on earth from robbers and land thieves with no police or army or security !!
Unfortunately we do not have enough photos or videos showing the violations because photographers can not go there without security protection as we are speaking about land robbers who are armed and aggressive. Already a dear friend and reporter was working on a similar story in Old Cairo and faced similar challenge. Here is a video shot by Mrs. Wahiba Saleh, the head of inspectors in the area.

It was shot by her mobile , you can show violations and some sort of construction began to take place in that area which was empty if you search in photos online for archaeological reasons.

Unfortunately the Islamists including the current generations of Muslim brotherhood care less about ancient Egyptian history. They despise the ancient Egyptian history as ancient Egyptians were infidels in prophet Moses’ story !! “Despite the Mother of All Arabs is ancient Egyptians and Joseph ruled Egypt not to mention that there is a belief among unorthodox Egyptologists like late Siyad Kareem that Akhanton was a prophet of God.” Unfortunately many Islamists in Egypt believe now that our ancient history starts with the entry of Islam to Egypt ignoring even some important parts of Islamic Egyptian history like the Fatimid State !!

If the police/government are not going to take action, we as Egyptians and people who are interested and proud of Ancient Egypt should make a movement or take action not through the web or through protests but by going there in numbers and standing in front of their weapons.. this will get the attention needed.

You are still thinking like a subject of King Mubarak. You sit at your blog expecting the government to do something rather than do something yourself. But no, when the government doesn't help you, you call in the foreigners. Lazy. That is what you are. You know who those foreigners are, don't you? They are not ordinary citizens of other countries who are interested in Egypt's past. No, they are foreign governments who will take advantage of this situation to serve their own countries' interests that has little to do with archaeology, and nothing good will come of it for Egypt's past. So sad. I see people who once cared about their country's past and felt empowered to do something now begging from the west to save them.

Nonsense. Governments have policies with regard, say, to Ancient Monuments, planning permission and threatening people with guns. Of course the government should be called upon to act. Are you suggesting that the present government has no position on this issue? If you elect a government of course you should demand it acts according to its stated policies. I simply do not believe that the Morsi Government oficcialy approves of armed thugs riding roughshod over national law and international agreements. On top of demands for Government intervention, civil action is desirable. And the Media should step up to the plate. And other nations who uphold World Heritage Site agreements have an obligation to make their feelings known.

Wow, Z, Islamists don't care about Egypt shocker! You voted for them (from the first referendum you voted 'yes' along with the islamists and then with morsi). Enjoy the people you elected. They represent you so accept their actions.

They are also calling for the destruction of the Giza pyramids because they are pagan. Sad state of affairs in Egypt, one of the most valuable historic regions of the world under the control of brainless savages and the President himself one of them. Hopefully they'll trigger an ancient Egyptian curse on themselves. Do a seance and call upon the spirit of Snefru to smite them.

Well, I do agree you have to save the old Egypt! The thing is, what can we do? Not so much I am afraid off>>> I think all is in your hands, the Egyptians themselves>

I hope they save it as I too saw old ruins and it would be a shame to see them go away after all these YEARS... The pyramids, they are the graves of their own descendants/ancestors so they do not even respect their origin/their bloodline. In fact, they are not in their country at all. Egyptians, the real ones... where are you? Nobody knows as all came from everywhere living in this part of the world we call now Egypt. Even in the mountains between Qeena and Hurghada/Safaga... old Egypt is still to see in ruins’. Sad to think they will all be destroyed after being there for 1500 years!!!
